Today, singer-songwriter Stella Santana returns with a hazy and sultry new single “Twelve Feet High”. The single serves as not only her first offering of the year but as the title track for her forthcoming independent EP, Twelve Feet High, out this Summer. “Twelve Feet High” arrives alongside a visual that provides a behind the scenes glimpse into its creation. Featuring Stella in the studio amidst an interesting backdrop, the clip depicts Stella Santana confident and self-assured.
"This song was the first song Ben (co-writer), Tim (producer) and I ever made, and the first day Ben and Tim actually ever met. It really set the tone for our sonic trajectory as a (dream) team. Stella adds, “For the video I got a chance to connect with two great guys, Notion and Bennett Barbosa over at happyimsad studios in DTLA. I'm so excited for the song to be out in the world--it felt like a special day when we made it. And for the artwork, I connected with an incredible visual artist, Monica Gibson (@studiosalud.co).”
Following up on last year's Distant & Distant II EPs, which delved into emotions, truths, strength, and calmness within space and distance, Twelve Feet High sees Stella Santana mature and self-assured in her artistic journey. With her soft, smoky voice and signature warm-summer-night vibe, Stella Santana transports listeners into a genre-evading realm. The EP blends alt-pop, neo-soul, and nostalgic '90s grunge sounds, showcasing her quintessential style.
Speaking on the making of the Twelve Feet High EP, Stella shares, “after Ben and I started writing together, I got inspired and started a playlist of songs that were my definition of cool - a blend of alt indie, R&B, neo-soul, and pop sounds, I incorporated the playlist into my sessions to use as musical references, then all of a sudden we had the music.
Daughter of legendary guitarist Carlos Santana, Stella Santana continues to establish her roots within the music scene. She's not only a powerhouse woman but a new mother, which has heightened her passions for community, environmental, and societal issues while leaving her indelible mark on the music industry.
